Attorney General Jeff Sessions has officially put nine sanctuary cities on notice that some of the federal grants they currently are receiving will soon be revoked if they fail to prove they are in compliance with what they seem to think is the “antiquated” concept of obeying US immigration laws. On Friday the Department of Justice sent letters to eight cities and one county warning them to discontinue their current practice of limiting communications with the Department of Homeland Security in the areas of “information regarding the immigration or citizenship status” of prisoners.

The fake news sharks at CNN are all worked up into a frenzy over an innocent and justified remark Attorney General Sessions made about the “so-called” judge sitting in Hawaii and dictating to the rest of us that we won’t be protected under the Constitution by our President. Sessions is too much of a gentleman or politically savvy to point out that Hawaii has yet to be saddled with its first Syrian or any other variety of refugee, an inequity that should be immediately put to rest in grand fashion.

Speaking from the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced major changes to Justice Department protocol when it comes to charging and prosecuting illegal aliens.

“For those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned: This is a new era. This is the Trump era. The lawlessness, the abdication of the duty to enforce our immigration laws and the catch and release practices of old are over,” Sessions said.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch, under the ever over-reaching hands of the Obama Administration is once again doing everything in her power to limit the Constitutional rights of Americans. If you’ll recall reports from a few months back that talked about the United Nations looking to launch a global police force, or a revelation of the same kind by a high ranking LA County sheriff, it would seem that the idea isn’t the rambling of conspiracy theorists after all.

During her speech to the United Nations this week, Loretta Lynch announced that the Department of Justice is launching a global police force meant to combat “violent extremism” in the United States. Now who’s making up terms? She created the label but failed to give an example of what qualifies as “violent extremism”. Is she talking about people who disagree with liberal policies or perhaps Trump supporters or even our hard-working police officers? This could be the most blatant overreach of power ever demonstrated by anybody serving as Attorney General.

Of course, she forgot to mention she took $20,000 from the Ku Klux Klan this year.The Washington Times reported:
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has received more than $20,000 in donations contributed by members of the Ku Klux Klan, a prominent member of the hate group said Monday.“For the KKK, Clinton is our choice,” said Will Quigg, California Grand Dragon for the Loyal White Knights, Vocativ reported.

“Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton.

Two weeks ago and just hours after officially endorsing Hillary Clinton's run for the White House, President Obama met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in the Oval Office. It was closed to the press.

Earlier this week in Phoenix and just hours before the final Benghazi Select Committee report was released, former President Bill Clinton attended a private meeting with Lynch at the airport. The FBI, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Justice Department, is currently conducting a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton for using a private email server to share classified information during her time at the State Department. The Clinton Foundation is also under FBI criminal investigation for alleged public corruption. From ABC15:

Once again Lisbon Council is trying to change route. 9 zoning from Rural Open 1 to Commercial.

At the (4/6/16) Council Meeting there was a proposed zoning change that was previously and rightfully rejected several years ago when the Council tried to make a 1000 ft. Commercial corridor along a large swath of route 9.

My home is within a1000ft. of the center of route 9 and would be be adversely affected by this zoning change.

Reasons against this zone change.

This change regardless of what the Council may say reduces the value of residential property.

This change would make it more difficult for prospective buyers to get a loan to buy affected property. (According to the loan officer I spoke with at Key Bank.)

Do we want to turn one of Lisbon's remaining gateways into another route 196? What impression will this give to people coming to Lisbon from the Sabattus turnpike exit?

Do you want another used car dealer strip on rte. 9?

Commercial zoning means large trucks and noise which also reduces property values and destroys roads.

The Council has placed a survey on the town's web site in an effort to get feedback from the community. Loaded questions on this survey are used to manipulate the survey taker into agreeing to a commercial zone on rte 9 rather than asking if a zone change is needed. Lisbon Government has a habit of ignoring survey results when the results are not in agreement with the Council's position on an issue. I wouldn't be surprised if the Town throws out the survey results if they don't like them. I urge you to stop the Council from turning rte. 9 into another 196.

Take the survey and tell the Council you don't want another "used car dealer strip" on rte 9. RespectfullyJoe Hill
